Comment on my least favorites out of the last four days.....

So the last week has not been my favorite.

I spent about 4 or 5 days in Pocatello, I can't remember how long-I had the great runs, it was a good time. I hung out with BFF Becky which was fun and found out that she wasn't leaving for NYC until August which was also a good time to hear. And I got my hair colored. Then I came home and it was all over from there.

Thursday:

Retard from Ogden calls (the first of many calls) about coming to see my Saturn. He attacks my car for being salvaged, he complains about the price (I knocked 1,000 off of the Kelly Blue Book price because of the title, I think that was enough), he wants me to drive the car to Ogden so he can see it, he wants to take Front Runner down here and have me meet him at a trax station, I can't remember what else but seriously he was out of control.

That night was my first night at work. I had a heart kid. No stress, right?

Friday:

I sleep, but I"m exhausted. There was no working out. I know I ended up at work but I can't remember how. I had my new primary who is seriously cute, and a kid with pain issues. We change a medication and I forgot to fill out the paperwork on it. Don't worry this will come back to haunt me.

Saturday:

This is a picture of the empty spot my Saturn used to inhabit. I sell my car to one of my co-workers-this was the one bright spot in my day-I know the sporty Saturn went to a good home . The funny part was that as soon as she told me she was interested I started getting all of these phone calls about the car, including 3-4 more from O.R. (see Thursday). It's sad to not see the Saturn parked and waiting for me to not drive it, but I'm glad that it will be driven. I'm also sad that since I wanted to do the test drive before work I didn't go running. I"m also sad that I woke up at 1:45 with the realization that I have to work on Friday, August 2nd, which is the day of the Breaking Dawn release, therefore I won't be able to go get wristbands. It gets worse...

I get to work and I get 'pulled over' by Kerry because I didn't document my medication wastage. Seriously-I can't believe I did that! Therefore I have to talk to security and fill out the sheet and email a guy and find the person who watched me waste it (don't worry this took several days and I was really stressed about it-there was crying involved). Kerry now calls me 'jailbird'. Great.

I also forgot my badge. What a day to have to talk to security, right? Luckily he was cool with it, and so I wore a piece of tape for my badge that said Jen, RN on it.

There was some other stuff that went on but it's more work-related and I can't write about it but seriously, SERIOUSLY???

Sunday: It's ward conference but because I'm sleeping I don't go. It's not safe for me to only get a few hours of sleep in between shifts. Lisa said it was really good, which makes me feel even worse. But I did get some good sleep, but I'm still exhausted. I forget to bring food for the impromptu potluck. I remember while I'm laying in bed that the day before I had put a diet coke in the freezer. Yep, you can only imagine the mess that was. I get to work and I'm precepting a new grad which is fine, but the assignment they gave us was a little more than a preceptee needs at this point. Instead of going down for my diet coke before 10pm, Kathy and I make it down at 12:30. That's right-I was running on no Diet Coke until 12:30. Unheard of.

I also get told by Rick, that he had a dream that I was in the psych ward and Jane was the only person who could sign me out. Considering how I was feeling at this point, I didn't think the psych ward was too far fetched. I told him I was going to go back to my bedside and take some prozac to try and make it through the night.

I don't get home until 9am d/t report taking AN HOUR. Seriously, an hour? I had many issues with this that I won't go into, but I was not pleased.

I forgot my lunch at work.

Tuesday morning I spoke with 2 managers about the medication issue. I will never forget the paperwork EVER AGAIN.

I went to the dentist which was bright spot #2 in the last few days-I don't have any cavities. But after the last 4 shifts, which don't look so bad on paper but if I could really go into detail you'd all get it-I basically laid comatose on the couch for 2 days. No big deal. I did work out on tuesday, but that's about all I've done. Good thing I have a half marathon coming up.....
